For purposes of this Article XVIII, where a Client is required to show “good cause,” good cause may be shown by competent evidence of any of the following: (a) the Client’s hospitalization; (b) the Client’s illness or injury; (c) the Client’s disability; (d) death in the Client’s immediate family; (e) the Client’s arrest or incarceration; (f) other circumstances beyond the Client’s control; or (g) criteria for good cause determined by the Department. The Client has the burden of providing confirmation, by evidence, of facts constituting such good cause. If a Shelter denies a Client’s good cause, the Client may arbitrate that denial under the procedures outlined in Section 20.18-6.
